I was talking to my neighbor this afternoon (he plays the bass) and he said that he is dying to play the Modulus Flea Bass.

 

He pronounced it "mow- do- lus"

I always figured it was pronounced "mod-u(as in "you")-lus"

I have heard others pronounce it "ma-do-lus" as well

 

:confused:

Well in Latin the o is short, as is the u on the penult, so the accent will be on the antepenult and it would be pronounced "MOD - you - luss". I would feel safe pronouncing it that way in English as well.
